Looking for the Ideal Analog Distortion Pedal

I was looking at one distortion pedal in particular. The TC Electronic Vintage Distortion Pedal. I was wondering if anyone has/had one of these and could tell me if their a quality pedal.

+1

You've given us zero indication of what sort of tone you want, what amp you use, what guitar you use.
Makes it kinda difficult to make a recommendation.

I use a Voodoolab Sparkle Drive, Super Fuzz and a Z Vex Fuzz Factory for most of my distortions.
The Fulldrive is excellent as well.

The ultimate would be something like a Matchless Hotbox- awesome sounding pedal, but getting rare (or get a Bad Cat pedal, similar design) and require 120v, rather than being able to run on batteries, which for me is a PITA for live work.

Depends on the amp and desired tone. Playing into my 59BassmanRI, the RAT, Barber Small Fry, old Bluesbreaker--I like all of the above. Keeley TS9 is nice for leads.

No no..
Buy a cheap small solid-state amp..

buy an A-B box to switch to it when desired

apply a razorblade to the speaker.

Voila!
